GitLab CI/CD-1: Building a Java Project using Maven and Docker within the GitLab CI pipeline
In this article, we will create a GitLab CI (continuous integration) pipeline, using Maven and Docker. We’ll use the Java application as an artifact. Whenever someone pushes on a branch of your repository, a pipeline will be triggered on a dedicated virtual machine running jobs described in .gitlab-ci.yml file. We will observe the pipeline’s output. We will do these practically, step by step, in this article.
Also, we will talk about the GitLab CI/CD concept and term, the Maven Life Cycle, and the Maven commands.
This step-by-step tutorial aims to provide a clear, practical path from theory to real-world application, and most importantly, we’ll put theory into practice through hands-on examples that you can apply in your own environment.
